Carbide Burr Types and Applications
Carbide burrs, also referred to as rotary burrs, work well for deburring, cutting, shaping, grinding and removing sharp edges from materials. They are ideal for use on a wide range of substrates, including steel, aluminum, cast iron, fiberglass, plastics, all types of wood and various precious metals. Carbide burrs are the preferred tool of choice because they typically offer a long performance life with minimal damage.
We offer the most common shapes of carbide burrs, including:
- Cylinder A-shape.
- Cylinder end-cut shape.
- Cone shape.
- Taper shape.
- Flame shape.
- Tree shape.
- Oval shape.
- Ball nose shape.
In addition to the many individual burrs we have for sale, we offer a six-piece set from Premium Tool that contains various shapes and designs all in one kit.
Factors to Consider When Selecting Carbide Burrs
Carbide burrs are versatile tools that work for a wide range of applications. The type of substrate and operation typically determine which kind of burr is best for the job. Two factors that help decide the ideal cut type include the amount of waste on a product and the degree of smoothness required for a project.
Examples include:
- Standard cuts produce smooth finishes on cast iron, steel and ferrous metals.
- Fine cuts result in better finishes because of the extra flutes and lighter impact on more rigid materials.
- Coarse cuts work better for softer materials that embed and pack in the flutes.
